dmz2711 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 No worries Megalo, I been working on a Alternator Explanatory kinda thing (like my battery thread which is gone to hell somewhere to the bottom of the pages) so yea lol that "batteries explained" thread was great, it shoulda been stickied! anyway, a big 3 tutorial would be sweet. i know there have been a few threads about it. maybe you guys can explain why the alternator bracket is the best ground? also, when doin the big 3, and your on the "engine to ground" part, would the "alternator bracket to chasis" be the same thing as "engine to chasis?" :-[ Quote Nobody makes me bleed my own blood, NOBODY!!!

Guest MegaloManiac Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 when mounting the alternator, they are usually always mounted to the engineblock/chasis. thats the only way the alts can be grounded. there is no "neg" post on them. the casing is the ground. i'll try to post pics up this weekend to clear this up for you. :^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
